Pope Francis warned Thursday that planet earth would not forgive the abuse of its resources for profit, urging the world's leaders to rein in their greed and help the hungry -- or risk a doomsday scenario in which nature would exact revenge.
"God always forgives, but the earth does not," the Argentine pope told the Second International Conference on Nutrition (CIN2) in Rome, a three-day meeting aimed at tackling malnutrition, a global scourge which afflicts poor and rich alike.
"Take care of the earth so it does not respond with destruction," he warned representatives from 190 countries gathered for the conference organised by the UN food agency (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) in the Italian capital.

I am a Catholic. And Francis is an idiot.
Time wounds all heels. There will be another Pope fairly soon.
Wow. And holy smoke!
(My apology in advance but I feel sure I will be quoting you later.)

And holy smoke!Waiting breathlessly to see what color it is...
It's amazing how easy it is for Catholics to throw their pope under the bus.
The "Vicar" of Christ, Jesus' representative on earth.
Smoke.
And mirrors

I am praying for the little boy and his family.Sometimes when one looks around it is too sad to think about and I ask God to apply my prayers for my own healing to someone like this family. I am old and my ailments insignificant in light of others. Thank you for reminding us about the needs of others.
